Prayer
Father in Heaven who lovest all,
Oh, help Thy children when they call;
That they may build from age to age
An undefiled heritage.
Teach us to rule ourselves always,
Controlled and cleanly night and day;
That wc may bring, if need arise,
Xo maimed or worthless sacrifice.
Teach us to look in all our ends,
On Thee for judge, and not our friends;
That we, with Thee, may wait urieowed
By fear or favor of the crowd.
Tcaeh us the strength that cannot seek, —
By deed or thought to hurt the weak;
That, under Thee, we may possess
Man’s strength to comfort man's distress.
Teach us delight in simple things,
And mirth that has no bitter springs ;
Forgiveness free of evil done,
And Love to all men ’neath the sun.
— Kipling.
